Garlic is healthful and flavorful albeit strong-smelling. For most recipies it is best to first chop garlic into very small pieces, then press it through a garlic press because it is usually unpleasant to eat chunks of garlic. Pressed garlic mixes well in dishes adding the flavor evenly. Fettucine alfredo is delicious with fresh garlic-- and dont forget a dash of pepper. And of course spaghetti sauce needs garlic.
